The Colchester Borough Council<\/a>‘s recent multi-million pound project to build a new Dark Fibre network across the Essex town (here<\/a>) appears to have also been one of the first places in the UK to deploy the Prysmian Group’s latest Sirocco HD<\/a> cable, which can fit 552 fibres into a diameter of just 8.2mm.<\/p>\n

High density microduct cables are nothing new, but every few years’ somebody finds a way to make them even smaller, lighter and more flexible or durable. Not so long ago we were talking about Fujikura’s SpiderWeb Ribbon (SWR) cable, which could fit 288 fibres into a cable diameter of 11.7mm – rising up to 1728 fibres into 22.1mm.<\/p>\n

According to Colm Coyle, MD of Rio IT and designer of the installation, the company needed to find a cable that could be inserted into the existing duct system (this had originally been built to support CCTV cameras) and which would be reasonably future-proof. In short, they needed to squeeze around 500 individual fibres into a 16mm diameter duct (they actually only had 9-11mm of usable space inside the tube).<\/p>\n

Colm says that Prysmian’s cable was the only one they could find for their particular job, and it’s about a quarter of the weight of other cables of a similar capacity. The operator specified 26 kilometres of 552 Sirocco HD fibre cable for the project, supplied by Fusion Utilities, to be installed by Scotech in a ring around the city. The cable is made up of 552 individual G657A2 fibres, with a fibre density of up to 10.5 fibres per mm2.<\/p>\n

The cable also utilizes Prysmian\u2019s BendBright-A2 200\u00b5m single-mode (ITU-T G.657.A2) bend insensitive fibre technology, allowing it to retain enough flexibility to be bent around tight corners without being damaged. This is important because the new cable had to be blown down the duct at a high enough air pressure that it could make it around 21 right angle bends.<\/p>\n

The first blow was 1200m – from the town hall, around eight bends, followed by three 1000m blows. The longest \u2018directional blow\u2019 of the whole project was 1650m, with the longest overall section length reaching 2170m, or over two kilometres. Thankfully, the installation was completed with minimal disruption to the community, with no road works or loud maintenance being required.<\/p>\n

Adrian Austin, UK Sales Manager for Telecom at Prysmian Group UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This was a significant project for Prysmian as it required the use of a brand-new product, which was successfully installed with no issues. Further to this, Colchester is now just the second area in the UK to have this system installed, and Colchester City Council, who commissioned the project, is delighted.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We don’t often write much about the optical fibre cables themselves, preferring instead to focus on the service delivered, network coverage and networking equipment involved at the ONT or OLT. But this one was interesting and detailed enough to be worthy of a mention.<\/p>\n

The project was completed in December 2021 and has helped to form some of the foundation for VXFIBER<\/a>‘s (inc. subsidiary LilaConnect<\/a>) ongoing project to rollout a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network across the town (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As a side note, the Prysmian Group has said that their latest Sirocco HD cable variant can fit 576 fibres into a diameter of 9.5mm, providing a fibre density of 8.1 fibres per mm2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
